During a routine inspection

People who we spoke with told us that they were very satisfied with the treatment provided at the practice. They said they had used the practice for a number of years. They told us they felt involved in discussions about their treatment. One person told us they had brought their small child who had tooth ache. He said "I called the practice and they were able to fit us in straight away." Once treated the father registered his other children.

People told us that they were never kept waiting to see the dentist and that was important to them. Another person sad "The dentist is excellent I would recommend them to anyone."

People said "The practice is always clean." "The staff always take time to ensure all of my details are up to date before seeing the dentist." Another person said "Staff always wear protective clothing and offer me protective glasses. I always see the same dentist and if needed I can get an appointment at short notice."

People received treatment from suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff. Appropriate checks had been undertaken before staff began work. There was an effective complaints system in place. Complaints people made were responded to appropriately.

People told us if they had any concerns or complaints they would discuss them with members of staff and they were confident of using the complaints system. One person said "We are able to complete satisfaction surveys and put them in the box, we are very happy with the practice."
